"WORKERS WAKE UP"
Description
Black and white Referendum leaflet. "WORKERS WAKE UP. DON'T BE LED BY THE 'NOES'. Do you know what the Agents of Germany have robbed you of during the last few months? The I.W.W.'s riddled the Unions with disloyalty. They are the enemy in your midst. They are well fed while you suffer. Stoppage of work means victory to Germany and destitution to you. The last strike in New South Wales cost the workers in that State alone #2,100,00 in two months. In Victoria, during the recent strike, the workers lost #500,000. The I.W.W.'s are still trying to exploit you by asking you to stop reinforcements for the front. Our soldiers are fighting for you. ARE YOU GOING TO HELP OUR SOLDIERS? IF SO, VOTE 'YES'."
